Bill Gates Calls Time With Jeffrey Epstein a ‘Foolish’ Mistake
Gates said he was foolish to spend time with Epstein and denied a social relationship as CNN revisited unverified allegations and case-file documents.
- On Wednesday, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates appeared on CNN's AndersonCooper360 to discuss artificial intelligence risks, but host Anderson Cooper shifted the conversation to Gates' past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
- Cooper confronted Gates about "graphic, unverified" allegations from past emails suggesting Epstein attempted blackmail. Gates denied awareness of any blackmail attempt, calling his association with the convicted sex offender "foolish."
- Gates previously testified to the House Oversight Committee in June regarding these ties, admitting he mistakenly believed Epstein could assist his philanthropic endeavors while insisting he maintained no social relationship with the offender.
- Describing the association as a "huge mistake," Gates emphasized he never met any victims through Epstein and noted the committee's findings remain public for anyone "curious" to review.
- While Gates recently launched a campaign raising awareness about artificial intelligence dangers, he acknowledged his personal history and Epstein connections have frequently overshadowed his advocacy work.
